Yup. Saves me disassembling the bulkhead for turning on the lathe. This hand radial planer permits me to deepen the O-ring groove in situ.

That radial planer...copy paste next diy tool! Got something like that, too, yet did never think of using a radial frame...

Thank you for all those detailed pictures, David!

So much can be done with simple hand tools, tend to use individual stuff on my projects, too!

Thanks David,

Not only have you put up a mass of tool photos, but you also show how to use them! This post will be copied, printed out as a hard copy, put into some clear sheet holders, and on my desk at all times for tool application reference.
